P: No longer able to use "ctrl+\" to hide program title bar in Windows after 26.5 update.

Good day,

I am no longer able to use the default "ctrl+\" shortcut to toggle between show/hide program title bar in Windows after the 26.5 update.

Please can someone assist?

I have tried restarting the PC, changing the keyboard layout, searching for the setting in the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu as well as clearing the cache.. Nothing is working!
Please can someone assist?!

      Hi everyone, just making this new comment here to help pin it to the top, in case of anyone else new wandering in to this post with same issue. We do appreciate you reporting about it, and it is a known issue. It’s still being investigated by engineers with a temporary workaround of using Premiere v26.3.2 in the meantime. 

      Apologies for any frustrations while this is being fixed, and we will return with further update or questions if needed. 

      Thanks for your patience!
      Katie

      Installing older versions doesn’t work either. 

      There’s gonna be a mass shift to capcut. This sucks

      Stop constantly updating the program—there are so many bugs in the code, and the updates just make it impossible to use. You’re not making the program better; you’re just multiplying the bugs and problems with every new update! We don’t need new features—we need stability!

        Why did you remove the option to hide the top bar? Please bring it back, or tell us how to hide it.

          It may be a shortcut change or a bug in the 26.5 build rather than the command being completely removed. I’d check Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and search for “Maximize App Window” to see whether the command is still available and has a different shortcut assigned.

            Katie has already filed this as a bug. I will be merging this post over with that one so we have an accurate count of everyone impacted and can easily update everyone as this issue progresses. 

            Thanks again for letting us know!

              Yup, disappeared for me as well. If I search for it in the Keyboard Shortcuts, it’s no longer there.
              In After Effects, it’s still there “Maximize App Window”.

              Happened to me as well on Windows 11, as soon as I updated to 26.5
              Also ran into some issues with the text panel losing focus whenever I edit a transcription text. I know it’s a different topic but it’s just another strange UI behavior that came up as soon as I updated to 26.5 and it’s very frustrating.

              ​@Amy the Stuv,

              i’m not at home, but my research the other day shows it still works in release 25.6.6. When this is executed, it hides the windows status bar at the top and the premier menu row. It does not hide the Premiere home icon - import edit export row.
              As near as I can tell, this was never a keyboard shortcut assignable option. And even in PR 25, where it works, the combination shows as unassigned.

              Stan
